(Unless otherwise noted, all submittors will accept all changes, have no authenticity
requests, and wish a name with the "common sense" gender, based on
the submitted name.)

The following submissions were sent on to Laurel and the College of Arms for
final decisions:

Anna Fae. New Name and Device. Azure, on a pall beneath
an increscent Or, in base a pine tree azure and a bordure argent.
This exact same source was used in the registration (with no comment on the
byname from Laurel) of Mara Fae on the December 2002 LOAR. While prior registration
is no guarantee of future registrability, the recentness of this registration
does indicate that it is likely to be acceptable.

Daráine Seóig. New Name.
Commentary was received suggesting that Sheoye is an Anglicized Irish byname.
Combining an Anclicized Irish byname with a Gaelic given name is a linguistic "weirdness".
Combining a very early period name with a rather late period name is considered
a temporal "weirdness". Laurel will register a name with one "weirdness",
but not one with two. So, I am passing this name as submitted. However, Laurel
will see the original forms submitted and see your request.

Fergus MacLennan. Change of Registered Device. Gules on
a chevron sable fimbriated between three gryphons segreant five fleurs-de-lys
Or.
Reblazoned from "gryphons segreant" to "gryphons", as
segreant is the default posture for gryphons. I am passing this device, but
I would suggest to the submittor that, when using the device, the chevron
should be drawn noticibly steeper.

Kathalyn Nimet. Change of Registered Name and Change of
Registered Device. Per pale argent and sable, all crescenty counterchanged,
a bordure gules.
Reblazoned from "both semy of crescents" to "all crescenty".

Outlands, Kingdom of the. New Order Name. Order of the
Silver Lance.

Peryn Wolfe. New Name and New Device. Quarterly vert and
argent, four compass-roses in cross and a bordure all counterchanged.
There was some commentary about the allusion between this name and that of
Perrin in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, but the consensus at the
meeting was that it may not be overly allusive. I decided to let the College
of Arms and Laurel decide.

Rhiannon verch Edenevet. Resubmitted Name (kingdom)
I found Ednyfed in Tangwystyl's Simple Guide as a header spelling. Commentary
indicated that those header forms are modern and that the period form is
Edenevet. History books are well known for using the modern forms of names,
unfortunately. Since the modern form is not registrable, I have changed
it to the period form. Also, "ferch" is the modern form of "daughter" - "verch" is
the period form.

Sabine of Loch Rennach. New Name and New Device. Per pale
sable and purpure, a castle and in chief a thistle slipped and leaved argent.
Thank you for making us aware of this wonderful site of period maps!

Stephen North. New Name.
All parts of this name are found in the "Brass Enscription Index" by
Julian Goodwyn (http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/brasses/).
Stephen is dated to 1446 in the list of mens' names (men.html)
and North is dated to 1529 in the list of last names (lastnameIP.html).
He will not accept major changes, cares most about the language/culture,
and is interested in authenticity for "13th-14th cent. English" time
period and language/culture.

Tahir al-Razi. New Name and New Device. Vert, a crescent
between five mullets of eight points in orle argent.
Please note that, when drawing this in the future, the mullets should be
drawn more clearly, with the points going in the same directions.

Violetta Bellafiori. New Name.
Originally submitted in October of 2003 as Violetta Bellafiori,
this name was in November 2003 because Violetta was only found in conjunction
with "La Traviata", a well post-period opera, and I was unwilling
to change it to Viola without consulting the submittor. Since then, the following
documentation has been found for Violetta as a literary name in England.
This name appears in a work by Emanuel Forde with the title "Parismus,
the Renovmed Prince of Bohemia. His most famous, delectable, and pleasant
Historie. Conteining His Noble Battailes fought against the Persians. His
loue to Laurana, the Kings Daughter of Thessaly. And his straunge Aduentures
in the Desolate Iland. With the miseries and miserable imprisonment, Laurana
endured in the Iland of Rockes. And a description of the Chiualrie of the
Phrygian Knight, Pollipus: and his constant loue to Uioletta" which
was published at London in 1598. This work was one of the inspirations for
Shakespeare's Twelfth Night so appears in a lot of references. While it does
give the name as Uioletta, it also contains several instances of
a v/u swap (Chiualrie, loue, Renovmed, Aduentures), so Violetta seems a quite
likely spelling. (My deep thanks to Mistress Alisoun, who discovered this
reference.) Therefore, at this time, I am reconsidering this submission and
sending it to Laurel, as no other negative commentary was received about
this name at the time of the original return.

The following submissions were returned for further work:

Daráine Seóig. New Device. Argent, a catamount
rampant sable maintaining a garden rose purpure slipped and leaved vert and
on a chief enarched purpure three compass stars Or.
This device is being returned for conflict with Gregoria Anne du Lac, Argent,
a cat sejant erect, tail nowed sable and on a chief purpure five annulets
interlaced argent. This is a conflict as only 1 CD total can be obtained
for the cumulative changes to the charges on the chief. There is no difference
given for the difference between a chief (straight line) and a chief enarched,
nor for the difference between sejant erect and rampant.
Additionally, when redrawing, please make the following changes. The mullets
should be drawn significantly larger and with more distinct points. As they
are, they are pretty much unidentifiable. Also, prior precedent says that
rosebuds are not registrable. Please be sure that the garden rose is not
drawn as a rosebud. The chief could also stand to be a bit wider.

Lyneya del Filde. Resubmitted Device (kingdom). Vert,
on a cross nowy argent, a torteaux.
This is being returned for conflict with Lettice Peyton of Ashdown, Vert,
on a cross nowy quadrate argent a rabbit sejant proper maintaining a quill
pen sable. This is a conflict, as only 1 CD total can be obtained for
the cumulative changes to the charge on the cross. Prior precedent indicates
that there is no CD between a cross nowy and a cross nowy quadrate, which
is a shame, since this is such a nice device.

Peryn Wolfe. New Device. Quarterly vert and argent, four
compass-roses in cross and a bordure all counterchanged.
This device is being returned for multiple issues. First, this at least borders
on excessive counterchanging. Second, the counterchanging renders the complex
charges of compass roses near completely unidentifiable. Third, and least
importantly, the bordure is a little on the skinny side. The combination
of these issues lead to a return. When resubmitting, please be aware that
placing one identical charge in each quadrant of a quarterly field is not considered
marshalling and is not a reason for return.

Stephen North. New Device. Sable, within a triangle voided
Or, three annulets interlaced one and two argent.
This device is being returned for conflict with Damon Hawke, Sable a
triangle Or charged with another sable. Damon's device can be equivalently
blazoned as Sable, a triangle voided Or. In this case, there is
only one CD for the addition of the annulets. Unfortunately, you cannot blazon
your way out of a conflict.
